An e-petition calling for pedestrian crossings at Thurlby and Northorpe, where two 11-year-old girls were hit by a car while crossing the road, has attracted more than 3,000 signatures.

Residents were spurred into action after the crash on the A15 at Northorpe on Tuesday last week. The two Bourne Academy pupils had just got off the school bus and were crossing the road when they were hit by a Renault Trafic minibus at around 3.50pm.

They were airlifted to Queen’s Medical Centre, in Nottingham, where they remain in a “critical but stable” condition.
